Kennedy Theatre at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa launches its 50th anniversary with two opportunities for patrons to purchase tickets before the season begins. Both programs offer substantial savings over standard ticket prices. These tickets are available for all of Kennedy’s mainstage shows this season: “Big Love,” a musical adaptation of Charles Mee’s acclaimed play; “Look Back Move Forward,” a dance concert featuring UH alumni choreographers; “Lady Mu and the Yang Family Generals,” classical Jingju (“Beijing opera”) performed in English; and “The Very Persistent Gappers of Frip,” a musical for young audiences.

Kennedy’s “Golden Anniversary Combo” allows individuals to purchase one ticket for each mainstage show of the season; patrons choose the performance date they would like to attend when placing the order. The package costs $50 (including fees) — 50% less than tickets would cost individually. The “Advance Super-Saver” program provides more flexibility. With this option, patrons can purchase tickets for any or all of the mainstage shows, and may purchase an unlimited number of tickets to each. Super-Saver tickets are 35% less than standard prices.

Kennedy Theatre is offering both packages through Friday, September 6. Tickets may be purchased online at etickethawaii.com, or by phone at (808) 944-2697. Patrons can also download an order form at hawaii.edu/kennedy/boxoffice/supersaver.pdf, and then mail or fax that form to the Kennedy Theatre box office.

These savings programs are in keeping with Kennedy Theatre’s goal of making theatre as accessible as possible to the O‘ahu community. As Kennedy’s theatre manager Marty Myers explains, “We’re always proud of our season, and thrilled to celebrate our 50th anniversary. We want to make it possible for everyone to come celebrate with us.”
